... that the correct jacket hadn’t arrived. I was very disappointed, as I knew Des was really looking forward to a light-weight jacket, his is very heavy, plus, we had some other plans for the day.

As it was, it took quite awhile to source another jacket for Des, which, Beto said, he would ship by express post at his cost, directly to the Palace Hotel in Frederico Westphalen, by Wednesday.

So, I paid for both jackets with cash (after ...

... of the two operators of the taxi, one I recognized was of the current driver. The trip from the hotel to the Hypomoto cost R$21.60. We gave the driver R$25 and everyone was happy.

We were met at the shop by the owner Beto Marshall, who is also an avid rider. Beto broke both his wrists on separate occasions within 3 months of each other, a year ago, just by "stop and drop" incidences, like mine. We selected 2 jackets, a yellow one for me and black for Des ...

... It´s a good thing I arrived in Porto Alegre (the state capital) on a Sunday because I got to partake in the regular weekly ritual: every Sunday, everyone in Porto Alegre and their mother gather in Redencao park and drink Chimarrao (or mate as its called in Argentina), while discussing sports, politics and everything else. But the mate drinking is not the only similarity to Argentina and Uruguay. On Tuesday ...

Aproveitei para ir na unviersidade do Rio Grande do Sul encontrar com os estudantes do movimento Alfa e Omega (um ministério da Cruzada Estudantil e Profissional para ...

... and everyone is drinking chimarrao. On Sunday, the Mercado Publico is closed, but there's a massive street market in one of the parks, and that was very excellent, too. In terms of quality, that was the best market that I've been to. There was high-caliber art, of every medium, for sale, and a massive flea-market at the end of the artisan-vendors. You could furnish your house very well if you bought everything from this market. Everyone goes to Forroupilha park on Sunday, to ...

Holy ****, I'm almost caught up! At least I'm writing about the place where I am, now. Hello, present tense! I've been in Porto Alegre for 3 days now, and I've concluded that I love it here. I think that's the first time I've ever said that about a city, but I find this place to be extremely agreeable. For starters, the women are amazing. Seriously, I'm going to keep learning portuguese, so I can find a wife here. If you're smart(and a man), you'll do the ...

... know started pouring in, and before we knew it there was about 20 of us sitting around a table catching up and telling a few of our tales. After a few hours we hit club in a different part of the city and saw a cover band who played anything and everything. It was after 4 by the time we got back to the hotel and got some well needed sleep.

Again, we were in the same predicament as before, wherby we hafta check out of a hotel at around ...

... fertilizer used to feed baby crops. He took us on a walking tour of his farm, explaining how everything is planted and used, bending down every once in a while to pull a carrot, celery, radish, or herb from the ground to share with us, and by the time we got back to the house we were all carrying bundles of vegetables and leaves like they were boquets of flowers. Back at the house was a huge spread of homemade breads and strawberry and vegetable jams made from his producce, all of ...

... of 2004 I decided it was time to make a nice trip. I love to travel, and I figured I would have to start at some point. When I saw on the Internet that the British and Irish Lions rugby team had already planned a tour around New Zealand, I decided to go there during this time and enjoy this event, as well as to visit this amazingly beautiful country. The problem about this idea came when I found out that the rules to get a ticket made it ...
